AI Video Upscalers and Frame Interpolation

RealScaler is a local AI upscaler for people who want to enlarge photos and videos and reduce noise without uploading their media. Its Windows desktop interface uses Real-ESRGAN models, and processing works offline once the required files are available on your PC.

ComfyUI Frame Interpolation adds AI frame interpolation to ComfyUI workflows for people working with video or animation. It generates frames between existing images to make motion smoother.

Flowframes generates intermediate frames to make video and animation play more smoothly. It's a Windows desktop app for people who want AI frame interpolation through a graphical interface.

VideoProc Converter AI is a proprietary desktop app for Windows and macOS that combines local AI media enhancement with conversion and compression. It's for creators working with camera footage, people restoring old photos and videos, and anyone preparing large media files for playback or sharing. It processes files on your computer, and batch conversion works offline.

Show 1 generates video from text prompts on your own hardware. It's aimed at researchers and developers who want to experiment with video generation while keeping the depicted scene and motion close to the prompt.

DaVinci Resolve Studio is a paid desktop video editor for macOS, Windows and Linux that combines editing, color grading, visual effects and audio post production. It's for editors, colorists and studios who want AI tools within the same application they use to finish a film or video.

BasicSR is an image and video restoration toolkit for researchers and developers building software to recover detail or reduce visual defects. It provides restoration models and pipelines for training, testing and inference.

ALH Pro processes images, video and audio on your own computer. It's for people restoring older footage, enlarging photos or illustrations, and preparing media without uploading their files.

QualityScaler is a local AI upscaler for people who want to enlarge photographs and videos and reduce noise through a Windows desktop app. It processes media on your PC without an internet connection.

FaceFusion is an AI face editing tool for people creating altered faces and lip-synced media on their own computer. It combines face manipulation with tools for improving faces and frames.

HitPaw VikPea is a paid AI video enhancer for Windows and macOS, aimed at people restoring family recordings, improving compressed clips, or preparing footage for larger screens. It combines upscaling to 4K or 8K with tools for blur, noise, and compression artifacts. It also enhances AI-generated videos from Kling, Sora, Veo, and Seedance.

SD.Next is a self-hosted web interface for artists and researchers who want to create and edit AI images and videos on their own hardware. It supports Stable Diffusion and other diffusion models.

Real-ESRGAN is a local AI upscaler for people enlarging images or restoring degraded images and video. It builds on ESRGAN, with dedicated models for general images, anime illustrations and animated video.

SeedVR is an AI video restoration project for developers and researchers processing real-world footage or AI-generated video on their own GPUs. Its SeedVR2 model restores footage in a single diffusion step, with substantial hardware demands in the supplied implementation.

CodeFormer restores degraded faces in photos and videos for people working with damaged images and researchers developing face restoration tools. Its quality control lets you balance a cleaner result against fidelity to the input face.

Video2X processes video on your own hardware to increase resolution or add frames for smoother motion. It's for people improving existing footage, with several processing methods suited to anime and other video.

Practical-RIFE generates intermediate video frames to increase frame rates. Built on RIFE and SAFA, this Python project is aimed at engineers and developers incorporating interpolation into video processing workflows, including animation and some diffusion-generated footage.

Waifu2x-Extension-GUI is a Windows desktop app for enlarging artwork, photos and video with AI. It combines multiple processing engines in one interface for people working with both drawn and photographic media.

chaiNNer is a desktop editor for people who want AI upscaling and repeatable image processing without writing scripts. Its visual workflows combine model processing with ordinary edits, so you can reuse the same chain across a collection of images.

Topaz Video is a video processing app for people who want to work on footage using their own hardware. It combines a choice of video models with stabilization and SDR-to-HDR conversion.

Amuse is a Windows app for people who want to generate media and text with models running on their own hardware. It combines generation with editing tools for both generated output and existing local video.

AVCLabs Video Enhancer AI is a paid desktop app for restoring and upscaling video on Windows and macOS. It suits people working with home movies, documentary archives, or footage affected by blur and compression. Video processing runs offline on your computer, and your files stay there. AVCLabs also offers a separate cloud upscaler for entry-level devices.

Wan2GP generates media on your own computer for creators who want to work with several AI models in one browser interface. It builds on Wan-Video/Wan2.1 and focuses on making generation accessible on GPUs with limited memory.
